Chapter 560 Purpose
There have been visitors to Mr. Chao’s house since the morning. Similarly, visitors have also come to the place where old man Shanweng repairs.
The old man lives in seclusion in the Hermit Valley in Xiaowutai. The Hermit Valley is surrounded by peaks. The outer peaks are surrounded by mountains. The inner mountains are beautiful, with misty clouds and mists in spring, green waves in summer, golden valleys in autumn, and silver in winter. The scenery of the four seasons is like this. painting.
The place is famous for its outstanding people. From ancient times to the present, Hermit Valley has been a place of spiritual cultivation for hermits. Its reputation is not as loud as Zhongnan Mountain, but it is a favorite place for true hermits who are indifferent to fame and fortune. In today's era of rapid technological advancement, There are dozens of monks living in seclusion in the Hermitage Valley.
The residences of hermits are either natural caves, houses made of grass, houses made of earth, or walls made of stones. Various huts are scattered in the deep valleys and forests, weaving a magnificent natural tapestry. .
The place where the old man retreats is halfway up a mountain. It is surrounded by cliffs on three sides. It was also the residence of hermits a long time ago. A path with only one foot on the ground climbs over the cliff to reach the residence. To drink water, you have to go about two meters away. extracted from the mountain streams between the mountain peaks.
There are four huts in total, with stone walls, mud coating on the inside, and bark and grass roofs. The land where the houses are built is less than 200 square meters wide. The owner also built a stone and concrete bed around the house and the edge to grow vegetables and melons.
Master Qian led the Taoist boy to walk leisurely along the cliff path. Some places on the path required bending down to get through, and some places required one to stick to the stone wall and imitate the walking of a gecko. Several places were extremely dangerous.
Climb along the path to the mountainside, and walk along a dangerous road to reach the stone house on the mountainside. The old mountain man in blue robes stands in front of the house, watching an old man and a young man in blue robes flying towards him, and I feel speechless. : "Brother head, why did you come back again?"
He also felt powerless towards his senior brother. He traveled far and wide and came to Xiaowutai to visit him half a month ago. He drank tea and looked at the mountains. The month lasted for more than half a month. A few days ago, the senior brother went to Beijing to give a gift to a little girl. He thought that the senior brother would return to the sect after entering the capital, but he never thought that he would return to his place.
"Senior brother, I miss you so much that I want to come and spend some time with you. It really hurts my heart that I don't like your visit so much." Qian Sect Leader held the Buddha dust in his arms, like light clouds passing through the sky, and floated in front of his junior brother.
The little Taoist boy carrying a big backpack lagged behind, walking slowly and leisurely.
"Senior brother, it's not that I miss you, but you still have something to do and you can't bear to leave." Zhong Liyu flicked his sleeves, turned back to the stone house, moved out a small table and a long stool and placed them in the open space in front of the house, and then went to work on the cooking area. Come to the small clay stove and teapot, and then get the tea set.
The sun has shone on the earth, reaching halfway up the mountain. The mountains and mountains are green and green, and the sun is warm and clear. Drinking tea in the sun is undoubtedly a beautiful thing in the world.
Sect Master Qian sat down with a smile, and the little Taoist boy walked to the stone house, saluted his uncle first, and then sent things into the main room. He took out the fruits he carried and washed them. He went to the kitchen to put them in a bamboo basket and carried them outside, and sat down by himself. Next, boil water to make tea.
A pair of brothers sitting in the sun, drinking tea brewed by a Taoist boy, leisurely enjoying the sunshine and the mountain breeze, feeling comfortable and relaxed.
"Senior brother, what are you here for?" Zhong Liyu didn't believe that senior brother was really just here to enjoy the mountains and rivers.
"Junior brother, I went to send congratulations yesterday, but I didn't see my nephew. He is not in the capital either?" "
Xiao Longbao once said that he would accompany the little girl out to look for medicinal materials in May. He must be with the little girl. How should I ask this question, senior brother? Your nephew is here, are you going to give me a greeting gift?"
"Junior brother, you are so protective of me that your disciple actually asked your senior brother for a greeting gift. You are afraid that I will not approve of your disciple, or that my greeting gift is too light."
" Senior brother has always
been very stingy." "Senior brother, when have you ever been stingy? When my nephew comes back to see me as a gift, as a senior uncle, I naturally have to give him a greeting gift." "Senior brother has never been
generous, but this time I gave a gift to the little girl. Maybe I will be more generous. After all, if you are too stingy, you will lose the face of the sect, not the face of the senior brother alone." "In the eyes of the junior brother, the senior brother is so
insignificant, senior brother, I am very sad." "
If you are sad and heartbroken, Go get some batter and put it on."
"Junior brother is still so ruthless and always hits me."
"Senior brother, let's get down to business. If you don't tell me anything else, my elder brother and father will come by the afternoon at the latest. We senior brothers may not have time to talk about trivial matters of the sect." "I guess the head of the Zhongli family will come
. , so senior brother came to Xiaowutai yesterday and got a head start today." Sect Leader Qian's peaceful face exuded brilliance, and his smile was particularly proud: "I don't have anything big to do, I just come back to stay for a few days, waiting for the little girl to return to Beijing. I hope to meet you alone. By the way, I would like to say that your senior brother, I am getting older and want to hand over the position of head to the younger generation. You can also help me examine which disciple is most suitable for the position of head." "Senior brother, you are here, little girl
. What kind of blow did you get at the birthday party? So you have to see the little girl?" Zhong Liyu's first thought was that the head brother must have been hit, so he decided to leave the head position to the younger generation, so that he could feel more at ease.
"I didn't suffer any shock. I just found that among the guests in the house, Penglai Immortal Master was still carrying a big burden like me. The other old heads of the ancient cultivator families had retired and were succeeded by the younger generation. How leisurely, senior brother I also want to be a wandering wild crane."
"It turns out that the island owner of Penglai Immortal Island is also here. Penglai Immortal Island is isolated from the world, and the island owner personally left the island. It can be seen that the Immortal Island also attaches great importance to the rebirth of the Immortal Doctor Sect." "This is natural
. , just like our sect, our sect has been hidden from the world for hundreds of years and has not been involved in the world. This time, the leader of our sect has personally stepped forward, which fully shows the importance of the immortal doctor disciples." "Senior brother, what else are you hiding? Logically speaking, our sect
and Xiandao is one of the most hidden sects in the world and one of the oldest sects. It is enough to send disciples to send congratulations." "More than a hundred
years ago, the ground was full of wars. Similarly, the monks behind the scenes were also full of smoke. Back then, Domestic and foreign monks fought to the death, both sides suffered losses, and their vitality was severely damaged. Therefore, they have been recuperating for more than a hundred years, and there are no disputes for the time being. In recent years, foreign cultivators have committed crimes, and it is impossible to predict that there will be another outbreak in the next thirty years. Fighting for it, the rebirth of the Immortal Medical Sect is a powerful addition to the Chinese monks, but it is the biggest obstacle to the foreign cultivators. The foreign cultivators will not tolerate her. I came out this time just to meet the Immortal Medical Sect in person, and I came to invite her. We must be careful to protect ourselves. Secondly, we also hope that the Immortal Medicine Sect can refine some elixirs for our sect so that we can prepare as early as possible.
In addition, junior brother should also have heard that many elders of the ancient cultivator family died in the great melee a hundred years ago. As far as I know, the husband of the current owner of Immortal Island lost all his meridians in that battle, and he only had one breath left. Chilled in an ice coffin, Penglai Immortal Master has been looking for elixirs, hoping to save her husband.
The owner of Xiandao Island must have invited the immortal doctor disciples to Xiandao for treatment this time. I also really want to know whether the little girl can bring people back to life, so I must stay in Beijing and wait for the little girl to come back. "
Brother, you win. You can stay here as long as you like." "The senior brother said a lot, just wanting to stay and wait for the little girl to return to Beijing for an appointment.
"Senior brother, I know that the junior brother understands the righteousness and will not drive the senior brother away. "Qian Sect Master happily clapped his hands. His junior brother was too serious and always needed to be teased before he spoke. It was not fun at all.
Zhong Liyu ignored it directly. He wondered how his master, who was such a serious and rigorous person back then, received such a message. Senior Brother is such a lively disciple, probably because Senior Brother is too good at pretending. He behaves like a gentleman in front of others, but in private he is just a fool seeking death. The little Taoist
boy was not surprised by the way the leader and his uncle talked. Two pots of tea, carry a bucket to the mountain stream to get water, come back to water the vegetables, clean the kitchen, and cook at almost noon.
The Lotus True Sect is a Confucian and Taoist sect and does not avoid meat and vegetables. At noon, the Taoist boy will cook braised fish, one will cook eggplant, and one will cook eggplant. Burning knives is simple, but it feels as comfortable as the breeze and white clouds.
In the middle of the afternoon, Zhongli Yunling and Zhongli Jing, the old heads of the Zhongli family, each took a personal bodyguard and climbed up to the stone house halfway up the mountain to visit the owner. At
that time, the sun was warm. Qian Sect Master was lying on the clothes-drying rope in the stone house basking in the sun, his Taoist robes swaying in the wind, as if he was about to fly away; the old man sat in the open space in front of the house, preparing tea and other family members. When the Zhong family and his son climbed the mountainside
, Zhongliyu went to the intersection to greet him and saluted his father: "Ayu has met my father and the head of the family. "
Zhongli Yunling, whose beard and hair were all white, nodded when he saw his youngest son and said only one word, "No." "
Fourth brother, I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still the same old temper. "Zhongli Jing supported his younger brother on behalf of his father and patted his younger brother on the shoulder: "You are still the most leisurely, so you look younger than your brothers. "
Follow the old family master and the family master's bodyguard to say hello to the fourth master.
Zhong Liyu received the gift from the guard, supported his father with one hand, and held his brother's hand with the other to go to the stone house.
Qian Sect Master floated down, holding the Buddha dust in his hand, and greeted with a smile: "Old Master Zhongli, I haven't seen you for many years. Your beauty has not changed, and your majesty is still strong." "We have been apart for more than sixty years,
Qian Sect Master, are you okay?" Zhongli Yunling bowed his hand in return. Qian Sect Leader was the head of the ancient sect. He was more famous than the Guxiu family. Even if his youngest son and Qian Sect Leader were brothers, he would not dare to think that Qian Sect Master was a junior.
"ToEFL, Shang Jian, Zhongli's old family master, please--"
"Qian Sect Master, please--"
The two of them greeted each other politely and sat down.
The Zhongli brothers and the guards all sat down first. Zhongli Yu poured the tea himself. After drinking the tea, Qian Sect Leader took the Taoist boy halfway down the mountain to fish in the river and let the Zhongli father and son brothers say goodbye.
Zhongli Yu has not returned to Zhongli's home for twenty years. When asked about the current situation of his family members, whether alive or dead, he inevitably laments the impermanence of the world. He did not say anything about Zhongli's next young master. After he entered the Lotus Orthodox Sect, he Yan Zhongli's family is a secular family, so it is not convenient to get involved in too many Zhongli family affairs. If necessary, he can only take care of it. It is not appropriate to interfere in everything that involves the family's internal affairs.
Zhongli Yunling asked about his disciple Yanxing. Hearing that he had not returned from an outing, he did not ask where he had gone and only talked about his daily routine.
Zhong Liyu knew that his father and brother would probably stay for a few days and were accommodated in the guest room. The four stone houses were a bit crowded and could barely fit in.
Zhongli, his father and his son, and Sect Master Qian settled in peace of mind and waited leisurely for the little girl to return to the capital.
